And when Grant Witherspoon struck out Andres Acuna in the bottom of the seventh inning with runners on the corners, it provided D’Evelyn with a 16-15 victory and ended a 3-hour, 10-minute marathon in the annual Hobbs Baseball Bash at the Runyon Field complex.

The teams combined for 31 runs on 25 hits. They made nine errors — four for D’Evelyn, five for East. There were 13 walks and a hit batter. Each team used four pitchers who combined to throw more than 400 pitches.
